It also coversan overview of the electricitymarket/industry, the relevant localstandards relating to electricalinstallations (CP5:1998), earthing (SS551: 2009) and lightning protection(CP33: 1996). Students will also befamiliarised themselves with the currentlocal authorities’/vendors’ submissionrequirements and procedures.DEE837 ANALOGUE ELECTRONICSThis module starts with introducingthe fundamental concepts of analogueelectronic devices and circuits, leadingto circuits involving diodes, BJTand MOSFET devices, small-signal,differential and multistage amplifiers.Students are also taught how toanalyze frequency response and the useof Operational Amplifiers in circuits.DCS028 BASIC ENGINEERINGMECHANICSThis course provides the foundation forprogression to mechanical servicesrelated course in the later years of study.Areas of study include forces, moments,couples, frameworks, motion in onedimension,vectors, kinematics, the lawsof motion, static equilibrium and otherapplications of Newton’s laws.DPD877 Life Skills A &DPD878 Life Skills BThis course aims to equip studentswith skills and techniques that couldhelp them set personal goals in theirlives, develop a healthy self esteemand project a positive and professionalimage. They will also learn to managebasic personal finance prudently andacquire critical thinking and problemsolvingskills. The course is covered overtwo semester (Life Skills A in Semester1 and Life Skills B in Semester 2).DIT821 COMPUTER PROGRAMMINGThe basic concepts of programming aretaught using the C language. Studentswill have a lot of opportunities inwriting software programme whichwill allow them to gain experience andconfidence. This course includes theC foundation, input and output, flowcontrol, loops, reading from data sourceand arrays. Students will learn howto apply their knowledge and skills tosolve simple problems.DEE831 DIGITAL ELECTRONICSThis course introduces binary logic andthe various gates, such as OR, AND,NOR. It will cover truth tables, Booleanalgebra as well as encoder anddecoders. It will also include variouselectronics circuits, sequential andsynchronous logic, as well as memoryand storage. On top of that, it willinclude digital to analogue convertersand vice versa. Students will also beintroduced to the different componentsin microprocessors and understandhow they work with one another.DPQ612 MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSFOR CONSTRUCTIONThis course will cover the concepts ofproductivity, environmental, safety,health management and quality,problem-solving skills, housekeeping,quality management (ISO9001),quality control circles and constructionquality management (structural andarchitectural). It also covers CONQUASStandard (structural), ISO standards forconstruction industry and the auditingprocess, Environment ManagementSystems (ISO14001), occupationalhealth and safety managementsystems (OSHAS18001), BuildabilityDesign Appraisal System (BDAS)and some of the applicable legalrequirements on environmental, safetycourse synopsisand health.DPE223 INSTRUMENTATION &CONTROLThis course covers the principles andapplication of direct digital controlof industrial and building services.Starting with types of instrumentsand sensors, students will betaught theory of control systemsand different controller modes,analysis of system performance andstability, leading to modern controlapplications such as ProgrammableLogic Control (PLC) and SCADA.DEE224 ELECTRICAL POWERDISTRIBUTION AND INSTALLATIONIn this course, students will gainbasic knowledge in the design ofelectrical power distribution systems.Topics include construction, workingprinciples and selection of powerdistribution equipments, such as powertransformer, switchgear, switchboard,capacitor bank, emergency powersupply; principles of lighting & finalcircuits; calculation used to selectprotective devices (fuses and circuitbreakers) and estimate power &earthing cable sizes (based on CP5),as well as basic wiring & cable supportsystems. Protection against electricshock and short circuit along with theearthing systems (such as TT and TNS)will be covered. The new cable colourcode for electrical installations will alsobe highlighted.DEE277 ELECTRIC CIRCUIT ANALYSIS 2This course covers electrical signalssuch as the sine wave with itsmathematical representation andcalculations of voltage, current,energy, AC powers (real, reactive,apparent) in AC circuit analysisStudents will be taught power factor,resonance, complex impedance andtransient response in first-order RC, RLand RCL circuits. Three phase circuits,concepts of power triangle and powerfactor correction will also be covered.DEE278 ELECTRICAL MACHINESThis course introduces constructionDiploma in Electrical Engineering and Clean Energy27
